The Rev. Billy Graham

Dear Rev. Graham: I'm probably more fearful than most people, but why shouldn't I be? After all, the world is a scary place and a lot can go wrong. My husband says I shouldn't be so worried about things, but I can't help it. I guess it's just my personality. -- Mrs. K.D.

Rev. Graham: Our personalities are all different, and perhaps you do tend to be more fearful than most people. But that doesn't mean you can't do anything about it -- and in fact you should, because God doesn't want us to be prisoners of our fears. The Bible says, "Do what is right and do not give way to fear" (1 Peter 3:6).
